This very complete site makes learning about Betsy Ross and the history of the American Flag interesting and fun for everyone. Learn about the history of the American Flag and see its various stages from its birth, read Betsy Ross’s biography, take a virtual (written not photographic) tour of her house in Philadelphia... Also here you will find a very lengthy portion on Flag etiquette, flag facts, trivia, and timeline, a picture gallery of flags, and even a step-by step guide to creating a five-point flag with one scissor cut! Have your students add their patriotic thoughts to the “Cyberthoughts About Betsy Ross and the American Flag”.
